In France, the delisting of homeopathy was completed in January 2021. The aim of this measure, according to the government and the Social Security, was to reduce healthcare spending by eliminating the reimbursement of treatments without scientific proof of effectiveness. Prior to this decision, the health insurance system covered around 30% of the cost of homeopathic treatments, at a cost of approximately €126.8 million per year (in 2018). Since this coverage was discontinued, this amount has been saved each year by the French healthcare system, representing a reduction of 0.1% in total healthcare expenditure (given that healthcare expenditure in France amounts to around €200 billion). This measure has made it possible to allocate these funds to other treatments and medical programmes that are more scientifically supported.
Thank you for sharing this detailed insight! It’s interesting to see how healthcare systems approach funding and allocate resources to evidence-based treatments. This adds a valuable perspective to the discussion!
Let me share a surprising experience: I once developed corns on my foot, and when I consulted an allopathic doctor, she mentioned that they could only be removed through a minor procedure. However, she also suggested trying homeopathy first. I followed her advice, and to my amazement, after taking regular homeopathic medicine for about a month, the corns naturally came off on their own-like magic!
It’s not a question of skepticism or controversy, it’s a question of reliable, reproducible proof. And there is no reliable, reproducible proof behind homeopathy.

Not educated enough. They don't understand post hoc propter hoc. The next is an appeal to popularity. Hundreds of millions use Astrology. That doesn't mean it's real.
The government managed education system is the reason why Homeopathy thrives in India. Every year hundreds of thousands give a common medical entrance exam.They have 4 options - alopathy, dentistry, homeopathy and ayurveda. Students end up taking homeopathy simply because they got cut off from the limited seats in alopathy and dentistry. I know of a doctor who had not even heard or used homeopathy ever but still selected just coz he wanted to become a doctor and his marks were below the cut off for alopathy.

Our whole family has switched to homeopathy for treatment of chronic illnesses. We have experienced goos results. There have not been any side effects.
It's a placebo and it doesn't work. For eg: if you ate sugar candies at home daily and somehow your chronic illness improved, would you say it worked because of you eating sugar candies? No, it's because of your body's immunity that the disease went away. Homeopathic tablets are nothing more than those sugar candies.

Name one scientific fact from Homeopathy. Provable, well tested fact that any scientist will agree. 😂 You can't. There isn't even one. It's all made up.
Lack of health infrastructure with modern medicine is the primary reason of alternate treatment like homeopathic and ayurvedic, while secondary reason is lack of quality education amongst so-called educated people. Fun fact is, people who promote these alternate treatment, go for modern medicine for critical illness but secretly if in India or go to abroad. One shall expect worse in coming days. Quite expected from the country like India (will remain always underdeveloped), but not expected from the countries which are highly developed as far as science and technology are concerned.
Goa and Uttar Pradesh government during the Covid pandemic they do the opposite. First they suggest modern medicine , and when the situation was out of control they gave to all population homeopathic remedies . The result was that in one week both the state where out of the emergency.
I held DW in high regard until I watched this video. If you're addressing a topic, please consult experts who have in-depth knowledge of it first. Many doctors hold DM degrees in allopathic medicine and have also pursued bachelor's and master's degrees in homeopathy. Engaging with such experts who understand both perspectives would provide a more balanced and informed review. This video is such a shame.
This sort of thing only happens in India because even DMs would not know science. Medical science isn't produced in India so even people with research degrees don't understand science and research.
I believe homeopathy can work when regular medicine does not have an answer. I would never use homeopathic medicine when there is a reasonable traditional drug available. For instance, fibromyalgia does not have good traditional drug, homeopathy can be tried without too much risk. Side effects are very rare if you buy them from a reputable manufacturer in spite of what your video suggests.
I have seen it working like a majic on my mother. This report is biased. It doesn't give enough screen time to some experienced homeopathic practioners
I am not a doctor or pharmacist. I am only an observer who can see if something works or not. That's why I said you should give equal screen time to people who are champions in their field.
I have seen one of my friends father with a kidney ailment living happily for the past 10+ years after the allopathic doctor gave him couple of months at max for his chronic illness.
I was given homeopathic stuff as a kid and it never seemed to do anything. Now as an adult I know this stuff is fake so I refuse to even consider it. If my child is sick or needs medical assistance I’m going to give them real medicine that will actually relieve their suffering.
That's good parenting :) (apart from that, I think within a parent-child situation, a big factor is the feeling of being taken care of and being taken seriously; a psychological factor so to speak)
Yes it works. Not always but many times. Selecting correct medicine is the key. Has side effects also. I have seen both effects and very rarely but certainly side effects eg one took Kali bich in excess accidentally to reduce sticky mucus and it ended in drying up my nasal passages but it is very rare.
Same thing happened with coronil in India during covid they had to replace their medicine labels to immunity booster the simple reason they had not did any trial...(sometimes science itself become subjective we need to know during medicine trial how many people died and many time even trial passed medicine took many lives which also went unreported un recognised)

@@mdzaman4561seems like homeopathy has a side effect which is affecting a person's ability to think rationally. You seem to be having that side effect. Get yourself checked out before it becomes too late.
@@vishalbajaj4231 Look at how china handled it. 95% were treated using TCM (Traditional Chinese medicine ) system. In India government did not allow other pathy practitioners to treat covid patients , otherwise many would have been saved, otherwise died !
CLICK BAIT I've regularly used homeopathic remedies on horses and ponies and got excellent results. I bet the producers of this program would say it was a placebo effect because horses really trusted us. I've usually found this channel was worth watching but this lame production has changed my mind.
There may be controversies around homeopathy treatment. Personally I do believe in the treatment. It works..how I don't know. As per my observation the selection of proper medicine is key.
Let the homeopathy and allopathy practitioners fight with each other and settle the matter.. till the time if you have any minor issues try homeopathy....
Science settled the matter. Homeopathy is no better than a placebo. There is nothing to fight on. It's like saying flat earthers and astronomers should fight.
@user-pg3iq5ro5k do one thing... donate a few million dollars perhaps so that even the most marginalized section can get the conventional medicine at a reasonable price...
Homeopathy medicines has given excellent permanent results for me where modern medicines failed. Sometime Homeopathic medicines will not give an immediate results but talking systematically. gives lasting results . All systems of medicines are good. Have to select judiciously. This is my experience
every pathy has its merits and limitations,every disease has a best solutuion in some pathy.Find it and choose it.Homeopathy is the topper.worse days for allopathy are coming.any kind of lobbyingg won't help.we just need the talented people to practise homeopathy or ayurveda if they dont wish to go jobless in the future
To all people saying allopathy and homeopathy didn't work its ca ve possible not everything will be working for everyone so im not rejecting homepathy and ayurveda medicines and yes this feilds need more research
'Meisje met de parel' or 'Girl with a Pearl Earring'- is the titel from the dutch artist Jan Vermeer, but what you see there is a modern interpretation of the famous painting
All Indians defending homeopathy, this show how poor is their scientific understanding. If you have studied science can you please tell how can dilution and tapping makes something stronger.
It's pretty safe to say all those defending it just memorized answers for tests without understanding to apply any of it. The degrees and diplomas of any Homeopathy believers are basically meaningless. High school chemistry is enough to understand how it can only be nonsense. So they understand less than that.
If person not cured by allopathic medicine got cured with homomepathy. BUT YOU SAY IN THAT SITUATION. Popularity is not sustainable if it does not standable on its own feet.
I had no faith in Homeopathy, But recently of my fissure problem after having several doeses of costly allopathic drugs, I tried homeopathy and it worked, The bleeding stopped Homeopathy is a good alternative for costly and medicine
Homeopathy works when prescribed by qualified persons. Why regular doctors do not get placebo effect.which homeopathy is able to give So many cures . Prejudiced documentary. CCRH is central council for research in homeopathy in India.
Qualifications are meaningless in Homeopathy since everything is a placebo. CCRH can only produce pseudoscience to market, it can never produce real science. Doctors also get placebo effect, if you wait long enough, at the same rate. Learn statistics.
It's not just enough cracking down on it domestically, this nonsense has been a major export to under developed countries who are more vulnerable to this
Allopathic medicine is much more riskier than homoeopathic medicine in terms of reaction. The efficacy of homoeopathic medicine has no scientific proof as it is claimed here in this video and the same blame against the Ayurveda medicine has been made by Alopathic practitioners for decades. DW should have presented researchers from both sides in the discussion or their papers that are being published in medical journals on this controversial issue could have been presented.
There are no 2 sides. Homeopathy is a straight forward scam. There is nothing to research. Homeopaths publish fake science papers. They never published any real science and they can't.
It's better to have a better research on alternative medicines than outrightly rejecting them. One or more type of medicine system can be useful in treating atleast few types of illness. For example, Ayurveda have greater effectiveness in Acidity and cough&cold related issues. Great allopathic medicine companies are always against any kind of alternative medicine system. Research is the only option.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! Research into alternative medicine is indeed important, as different systems may offer benefits for various conditions. It’s great to have an open discussion about all approaches to healthcare.
From where did you get the comedian Abby Philips😄 Homeopathy is scientific and a true healing resort to the needy. Unstoppable in it's second coming. Cheer
I'm totally pro scientific methods, but studies on homeopathy should concentrate on allergies treatment, because they make sense, but are too hard to study because it should be tailor made for every kind of allergy tested and identified.
@@lcmazza my chiropractor gave me home a passes. One of them was nux vomina, a plant that harms the liver but when turned into a homeopathic, tells the body what it needs to protect itself from, essentially. I went to Texas for some computer training, I had some of the homeopathics in my bra, because I found that the affect would last better that way, and because I was concerned that they would take them from me, this being something on the line of more than 30 years ago. I was actually more concerned that they would leak. The rest were in my purse, which went through the x-ray, whereas I went through the metal detector. it took me a little over a week to realize why some of them were working and some of them weren't, and why that one in particular that I had two of, one in each place, would sometimes work and sometimes not. It turns out that when they go through x-ray, it does whatever it is that makes them a homeopathic. if it was a placebo issue, they would all work or none work. Placebo works in the brain, and they've actually found where it works, and that placebos will work even for people who know they're getting a placebo, which makes them safe effective medication, at least in short-term, which means that the problem is short-term, they are highly effective and safe, unless you are allergic to the substance being used, which I am, which is why I only use liquid homeopathics, because I'm allergic to lactose which is the sugar used in most of the pills. if x-rays get rid of the effect of homeopathics, then that means that they aren't just placebo. Specifically the one of the mix vomica that was in my bra continue to work, and the one that was in my purse immediately stopped working. and this isn't like I knew it was going to happen in advance or thought about it. It took me more than a week to put my head together about it, since I wasn't using them except when I was symptomatic. This wasn't a nocebo effect because I knew it wouldn't work in the first place. I was purely mystified for longer than I care to admit. so if they stopped working when exposed to x-rays but not when they go through a metal detector, does that sound like a placebo to you?
You raise a valid point about the complexity of studying homeopathy for allergies. It's always valuable to find ways to study them effectively in the context of specific conditions.
@@daryapeppo2359 True. Pharmaceutical drugs are not without risks. While drugs can offer significant benefits, they also carry potential side effects.

Apart from controversies being a patient of (AVN) Avascular necrosis third stage I was suggested by orthopaedic surgeons to go for both the hip joint replacement I have developed this disease some five year ago and we have contacted almost all the big medical centres in India like CMC Vellore everyone suggests to go for hip join replacement it is the only treatment in normal medical practice, But to give a try I contacted a homeopathic doctor and I took treatment for almost 1 year and now I am 100% cured.. Being a patient I don't want any evidence from any one, I have been cured and it is enough for me. But being a student of science once I was studying quantum physics I conclude that something is happening at Quantum level in homeopathy which science has not explored. So I think there is a need of research on homeopathy than to reject it.
Stories like this mean a lot of things, none of which is that Homeopathy worked. Stories never translated to study results in Homeopathy. How many studies do you think exist on this matter?

In this video, in a very strange way, you DW, as a TV channel, do not provide any reference and limit yourselves to present the opinion of a couple of so called "Skeptics". Why didn't you interview scientists linked to direct research in homeopathy? There are several in the world.
@indeed92 Natalie Grams is a very strange media people. According to her, she was a homeopath but suddenly gave it up. Coincidentally after that she was taken over as communication director of a German "skeptic" lobby group and had a book published on the Springer academy platform. This book I have read and it has very few references, in fact it has been criticized for cherry picking.
I completely have faith in homeopathy. It has cured lots of critical ailments like hypothyroidism and cyst in uterus. It definitely takes time but cures from root. It's Strange DW questioning it's home medical process.
We understand that many people have positive personal experiences with homeopathy and find it beneficial. We respect the diverse experiences and beliefs people have when it comes to health treatments. It’s always important to have open discussions on these subjects.

Fun fact is, people who promote these alternate treatment, go for modern medicine for critical illness but secretly if in India or go to abroad. One shall expect worse in coming days.
Quite expected from the country like India (will remain always underdeveloped), but not expected from the countries which are highly developed as far as science and technology are concerned.
Goa and Uttar Pradesh government during the Covid pandemic they do the opposite. First they suggest modern medicine , and when the situation was out of control they gave to all population homeopathic remedies . The result was that in one week both the state where out of the emergency.
This video is misleading and totaly biased.
@@vishalfase5277 how so?
@@efrainpiracon9843because he believes in homeopathy and according to him anyone who has a different opinion is a biased and misleading individual 😂.
Shows your biased belief system !
I held DW in high regard until I watched this video.
If you're addressing a topic, please consult experts who have in-depth knowledge of it first. Many doctors hold DM degrees in allopathic medicine and have also pursued bachelor's and master's degrees in homeopathy. Engaging with such experts who understand both perspectives would provide a more balanced and informed review.
This video is such a shame.
This sort of thing only happens in India because even DMs would not know science. Medical science isn't produced in India so even people with research degrees don't understand science and research.
Hi @ajaymammenchundamannil1516! Thank you for your honest and thoughtful feedback!
@@me_aj225 that's because DM in India does not mean one understands science. I saw several DMs talking pseudoscience. Degree inflation.
Water does not have memory, this is a scam.
I believe homeopathy can work when regular medicine does not have an answer. I would never use homeopathic medicine when there is a reasonable traditional drug available. For instance, fibromyalgia does not have good traditional drug, homeopathy can be tried without too much risk. Side effects are very rare if you buy them from a reputable manufacturer in spite of what your video suggests.
I love Homeopathy ❤❤❤❤
For the first time I saw the 'potentisation' process - really ridiculous - tapping bottles ten times... what a joke !
Please let me know if Dupuytren's Contracture can be treated with homoeopathic medicines.
There is no evidence that anything can be treated by Homeopathy. Stories though, are made up for everything.
Homeopathy didn't work for me but it did for some people I know. I suffered from eczema.
How it's effective for mental health such as fear and anxiety?
I am taking a homeo medicine for anxiety . coincidence is I am an Indian and the medicine is made in Germany this channel is also German
I have seen it working like a majic on my mother. This report is biased. It doesn't give enough screen time to some experienced homeopathic practioners
@@syedmdismail7478 ever heard of a placebo effect?
Looks like you don't know about self limiting diseases. Reading about it would help
I am not a doctor or pharmacist. I am only an observer who can see if something works or not.

Homeopathy is so popular in India idk how and why
@@saranshjoshi3167 Yes you do.. very well know how and why!
@@saranshjoshi3167 cause we Indian don't believe in science.
We blindly believe in faith🙏🙏
@@happyjollyjolly8850to believe in science is the same as to believe in priest .
Simple reason is because it WORKS
I have seen one of my friends father with a kidney ailment living happily for the past 10+ years after the allopathic doctor gave him couple of months at max for his chronic illness.
Eye opener 😮
I was given homeopathic stuff as a kid and it never seemed to do anything. Now as an adult I know this stuff is fake so I refuse to even consider it. If my child is sick or needs medical assistance I’m going to give them real medicine that will actually relieve their suffering.
Remember the company that produces antibiotics started as a company that produced chemical dyes. A little bit of German history for you.
Thanks for your comment. It’s fascinating to see how childhood experiences can shape us, and how our perspectives can change as we grow older.
That's good parenting :)
(apart from that, I think within a parent-child situation, a big factor is the feeling of being taken care of and being taken seriously; a psychological factor so to speak)
Good for you. Your child is in safe hands.
Yes it works. Not always but many times. Selecting correct medicine is the key.
Has side effects also. I have seen both effects and very rarely but certainly side effects eg one took Kali bich in excess accidentally to reduce sticky mucus and it ended in drying up my nasal passages but it is very rare.
There is no scientific proof it ever worked. Not once in 200 years.
Same thing happened with coronil in India during covid they had to replace their medicine labels to immunity booster the simple reason they had not did any trial...(sometimes science itself become subjective we need to know during medicine trial how many people died and many time even trial passed medicine took many lives which also went unreported un recognised)
If people died in a trial in a way we know it's because of the medicine, it just won't be approved. So the answer is almost always zero.
homeopathy is far better medicine.allopathy has several side effect,but homeopathy not.homeopathy is like cure like,when i watching video there is no homeopathy doctor is ,here,ley man people who dont know homeopathic,they are describing homeopathy is a mysth,or pseudo science, dw you are german channel , homeopathy spread from germany, kindly give valid explanation about homeopathy.thank yu
Homeopathy doesn't have side effects because it doesn't have ANY effects. Hope this helps.
@@AnirudhHu its your thinking
@@mdzaman4561 Yes and paracetamol works regardless of how I think. Give it a thought.

Homeopathy medicines are much costlier compared to other meds.
In Co*vi*d19 , we all have witnessed how modern drugs have failed and traditional medicine systems saved lives !
🤔🤔🤔 vaccine was an ancient medicine

@@vishalbajaj4231 Look at how china handled it. 95% were treated using TCM (Traditional Chinese medicine ) system. In India government did not allow other pathy practitioners to treat covid patients , otherwise many would have been saved, otherwise died !
Alternate medicine relies on hearsay rather than reproducible studies. “I heard one person saying another person got cured by the said formulation”😂
@@shubhampaliwal10 Yes. The doctors are also like that only. If you ask them details they will get angry.
Homeo medicine works fine for allergy and asthma. We are using more than 25 years.
What a scientific discussion with one sided discussion, ha.. bravo DW
That's like asking for 2 sides when discussing flat earth.
Bring the experts on alternative medicine. Onesided dicourse is illogical, unacademic, and funny.
The debate is same as theoretical physics and quantum physics
Not at all, this is like Astronomy and Astrology.

I've regularly used homeopathic remedies on horses and ponies and got excellent results.
I bet the producers of this program would say it was a placebo effect because horses really trusted us.
I've usually found this channel was worth watching but this lame production has changed my mind.
The placebo effect is working on you, not the horses. Veterinary science tested it and found it to be a placebo.
Homoeopathy worked on me very well
@@mrbinoyghsoh placebo effect did.
Just because you don't like the truth doesn't mean it's a click bait. You can keep believing in the lies that they are feeding you.
@@mrbinoyghsoh it didn't. But you thought it did, just like Astrology believers think astrology worked for them.
It's a big scam
There may be controversies around homeopathy treatment.
Personally I do believe in the treatment.
It works..how I don't know.
As per my observation the selection of proper medicine is key.
@@purot309 That not how medicine works
@@purot309 it's placebo
Let the homeopathy and allopathy practitioners fight with each other and settle the matter.. till the time if you have any minor issues try homeopathy....
Science settled the matter. Homeopathy is no better than a placebo. There is nothing to fight on. It's like saying flat earthers and astronomers should fight.
@user-pg3iq5ro5k do one thing... donate a few million dollars perhaps so that even the most marginalized section can get the conventional medicine at a reasonable price...
Better maintain catalogue of Homeopathic Active Ingredients for Medicinal Treatment to get with the Clinical Data.
Its extremely effective. I have results
Testimonies make pseudoscience, not science.
Homeopathy medicines has given excellent permanent results for me where modern medicines failed. Sometime Homeopathic medicines will not give an immediate results but talking systematically. gives lasting results . All systems of medicines are good. Have to select judiciously. This is my experience
Scientific studies already proved that effects are same as placebo effects.
every pathy has its merits and limitations,every disease has a best solutuion in some pathy.Find it and choose it.Homeopathy is the topper.worse days for allopathy are coming.any kind of lobbyingg won't help.we just need the talented people to practise homeopathy or ayurveda if they dont wish to go jobless in the future
All pathies are quack scams actually. If it works it's just called medicine. Allopathy is a word invented by the Homeopathy scam.
Homeopathy has cured me but some of the medicines may have serious side effects, do not self medicate even in case of homeopathy
To all people saying allopathy and homeopathy didn't work its ca ve possible not everything will be working for everyone so im not rejecting homepathy and ayurveda medicines and yes this feilds need more research
You're absolutely right - no treatment works for everyone. Thanks for highlighting the need for an open-minded but scientific approach!
Does anyone know what's the painting on the wall at 5:43?

It cured my mother and me it is blessing for my family
Thank you for sharing your perspective! It’s great to hear that you’ve found a treatment that has been beneficial for you and your family.
Never worked for me, though my wife, my cousins and my boss swear by homeopathy.
All Indians defending homeopathy, this show how poor is their scientific understanding. If you have studied science can you please tell how can dilution and tapping makes something stronger.
It's pretty safe to say all those defending it just memorized answers for tests without understanding to apply any of it. The degrees and diplomas of any Homeopathy believers are basically meaningless. High school chemistry is enough to understand how it can only be nonsense. So they understand less than that.
If person not cured by allopathic medicine got cured with homomepathy. BUT YOU SAY IN THAT SITUATION. Popularity is not sustainable if it does not standable on its own feet.

What's the difference between a homeopathic remedy and a sugar pill?
The sugar pill actually works.
Thanks to homoeopathy that sugar pills work, therefore no need for any conventional treatment.

I tried homeopathy and it worked,
The bleeding stopped
Homeopathy is a good alternative for costly and medicine
Thank you for sharing your experience!
Maybe it stopped because you had recently taken a real medicine before that.
are he is a homeopath! 😂
Homeopathy works when prescribed by qualified persons.
Why regular doctors do not get placebo effect.which homeopathy is able to give
So many cures .
Prejudiced documentary.
CCRH is central council for research in homeopathy in India.
Qualifications are meaningless in Homeopathy since everything is a placebo. CCRH can only produce pseudoscience to market, it can never produce real science. Doctors also get placebo effect, if you wait long enough, at the same rate. Learn statistics.
It's not just enough cracking down on it domestically, this nonsense has been a major export to under developed countries who are more vulnerable to this
All pseudo science based upon as nature cure itself with time patience n positive believe just people wants prashad to keep belief
Allopathic medicine is much more riskier than homoeopathic medicine in terms of reaction. The efficacy of homoeopathic medicine has no scientific proof as it is claimed here in this video and the same blame against the Ayurveda medicine has been made by Alopathic practitioners for decades. DW should have presented researchers from both sides in the discussion or their papers that are being published in medical journals on this controversial issue could have been presented.
There are no 2 sides. Homeopathy is a straight forward scam. There is nothing to research. Homeopaths publish fake science papers. They never published any real science and they can't.

Homeo is Horror
It's better to have a better research on alternative medicines than outrightly rejecting them. One or more type of medicine system can be useful in treating atleast few types of illness. For example, Ayurveda have greater effectiveness in Acidity and cough&cold related issues.
Great allopathic medicine companies are always against any kind of alternative medicine system. Research is the only option.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! Research into alternative medicine is indeed important, as different systems may offer benefits for various conditions. It’s great to have an open discussion about all approaches to healthcare.
Stop all medication and see the results.
From where did you get the comedian Abby Philips😄
Homeopathy is scientific and a true healing resort to the needy. Unstoppable in it's second coming. Cheer
@@suchithraprasad8475 there is no competent proof of that so the clown is you here
Actualy the discussion is not scientific...the charges against homeopat is without proper evidence...
This is called Shifting the Burden. Homeopathy failed to prove even a single remedy or concept.
I'm totally pro scientific methods, but studies on homeopathy should concentrate on allergies treatment, because they make sense, but are too hard to study because it should be tailor made for every kind of allergy tested and identified.
@@lcmazza my chiropractor gave me home a passes. One of them was nux vomina, a plant that harms the liver but when turned into a homeopathic, tells the body what it needs to protect itself from, essentially.
I went to Texas for some computer training, I had some of the homeopathics in my bra, because I found that the affect would last better that way, and because I was concerned that they would take them from me, this being something on the line of more than 30 years ago. I was actually more concerned that they would leak.
The rest were in my purse, which went through the x-ray, whereas I went through the metal detector.
it took me a little over a week to realize why some of them were working and some of them weren't, and why that one in particular that I had two of, one in each place, would sometimes work and sometimes not.
It turns out that when they go through x-ray, it does whatever it is that makes them a homeopathic.
if it was a placebo issue, they would all work or none work. Placebo works in the brain, and they've actually found where it works, and that placebos will work even for people who know they're getting a placebo, which makes them safe effective medication, at least in short-term, which means that the problem is short-term, they are highly effective and safe, unless you are allergic to the substance being used, which I am, which is why I only use liquid homeopathics, because I'm allergic to lactose which is the sugar used in most of the pills.
if x-rays get rid of the effect of homeopathics, then that means that they aren't just placebo. Specifically the one of the mix vomica that was in my bra continue to work, and the one that was in my purse immediately stopped working.
and this isn't like I knew it was going to happen in advance or thought about it. It took me more than a week to put my head together about it, since I wasn't using them except when I was symptomatic. This wasn't a nocebo effect because I knew it wouldn't work in the first place. I was purely mystified for longer than I care to admit.
so if they stopped working when exposed to x-rays but not when they go through a metal detector, does that sound like a placebo to you?
What? You want to combat allergy with poison so you trigger the allergy?
That only makes things worse and can even lead to your dead.
You raise a valid point about the complexity of studying homeopathy for allergies. It's always valuable to find ways to study them effectively in the context of specific conditions.
It's not the biggest scam. Allopathy is.
The word Allopathy is a scam invented by Homeopaths. There is in fact no such thing.

Homeopathy works perfect and precise, always hits the target, never disappointed
Thank you for sharing your perspective! People have different experiences. It's always good to explore what works best for each individual.
It works, and I used it my self I discovered Homepathic powers
Apart from controversies being a patient of (AVN) Avascular necrosis third stage I was suggested by orthopaedic surgeons to go for both the hip joint replacement I have developed this disease some five year ago and we have contacted almost all the big medical centres in India like CMC Vellore everyone suggests to go for hip join replacement it is the only treatment in normal medical practice,
But to give a try I contacted a homeopathic doctor and I took treatment for almost 1 year and now I am 100% cured.. Being a patient I don't want any evidence from any one, I have been cured and it is enough for me.
But being a student of science once I was studying quantum physics I conclude that something is happening at Quantum level in homeopathy which science has not explored. So I think there is a need of research on homeopathy than to reject it.
Stories like this mean a lot of things, none of which is that Homeopathy worked. Stories never translated to study results in Homeopathy. How many studies do you think exist on this matter?
Hi @erdrkhan! Thank you for sharing your story with us. We are glad that homeopathy has worked for you, despite all the controversy. In the end, healing comes first.

You brought a inexperienced or non-homeopath to comment on homeopathy. It that even a fair discussion??
Why would they invite someone who would spread falsehoods?

This mallu is talking without any proof this video is fake ...
In this video, in a very strange way, you DW, as a TV channel, do not provide any reference and limit yourselves to present the opinion of a couple of so called "Skeptics".

@indeed92 Natalie Grams is a very strange media people. According to her, she was a homeopath but suddenly gave it up. Coincidentally after that she was taken over as communication director of a German "skeptic" lobby group and had a book published on the Springer academy platform. This book I have read and it has very few references, in fact it has been criticized for cherry picking.
